Most of us will probably remember Stan principally for his post retirement creation and joint editorship (with the late Capt. Bill Williams) of the "Timelink" CP pensioners' magazine, which lives on to-day through the website http://www.timelink.org.uk/ , edited by Marshall Christie.   Sadly, it has to be said that Stan almost certainly did not receive the accolades he so clearly deserved for the huge amount of entirely voluntary effort and inspiration that he put into making Timelink such a vibrant magazine, with regular contributions from pensioners and CP staff, at all levels, right up to the top, as well as regular and brilliant cartoons from another former and much revered colleague, Rowland Acres.   If anyone has memories or anecdotes relating to Stan which they would like to share with us through the Timelink website, I know that Marshall will be very pleased to receive them.
